Is DF offloading old stock on Diabolik?

It appears they recieved a few Dark Force titles to sell, Dead Pit standard edition, Spider Invasion and the controversial Death Rage.

Just finished the Giant Spider Invasion. Dark Force did an incredible job on this movie. The picture quality was so good that some of the monster's strings were visible. No fault of DF's. All around great disc.

Yeah this is one of the largest Blu-ray PQ upgrades we've ever seen. Check out how poor the previous VCI edition is in comparison http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film5/blu-r...on_blu-ray.htm

Don't know who did what with any screen shots but we can assure you the review on here is very accurate. Our transfer and restoration on GIANT SPIDER far surpassed what we thought possible.

They only have 30 DEATH RAGE. They originally purchased them to sell at a convention that was cancelled due to the Coronavirus.

Wow! Leave it to RUINED to find such an on point comparison with previous GIANT SPIDER release. But in all fairness, we went to great lengths and money to reach the final result that we did. And in the end it was quite satisfying to see the big spider never looking better!

If you log into your account on DiabolikDVD, it’ll get rid of that tax. It does for me.

Or just properly enter your address when you get to that point in the checkout I guess will also remove it.

Thanks for the tip mate, good to know.

Christophah Maghen · 03-23-2020, 01:06 PM

Ordered Death Rage from Diabolik, missed out the first time and this might be the last chance to own it for a while.

dawnofthediscs · 03-23-2020, 03:16 PM

Anyone that ordered Yeti and has the capability to take video screenshots of the disc, holler at me.

repulsed · 03-23-2020, 03:42 PM

What was the issue with Death Rage? Must have missed that one.

It may be rereleased next year fixed edition, though no guarantee. Up to you if the sub glitch would bother you.

thechicken · 03-23-2020, 04:39 PM

I thought MVD’s involvement implied there would indeed be a fix for it? Can’t imagine it’s a huge challenge to add subtitles for the few extra lines, don’t know where the ‘next year’ timeframe has come from, unless this has been said somewhere.

It's needs to have subs fixed, reauthored, rereplicated etc

With covid19 backing up everything it's probably going to take a while

Received YETI today 1 day early, along with its nice slipcover and Giant Spider Invasion magnet (might be for club members only), watched about 20min skipping around a bit as didn't have time to watch the whole movie.

PQ on this title is overall very satisfying . Color and contrast looks excellent and overall video quality is heads and shoulders above previous versions of this movie I have seen available online. Overall resolution looks good, maybe a bit on the soft side w/ muted grain (720p-ish look) but definitely satisfying enough - other than the optical effects shots featuring the YETI itself which appear a generation removed and source-limited in resolution (resulting in it being slightly jarring when the film toggles between the soft optical effects shots back to the sharper video that makes up most of the feature). No egregious video processing artifacts to speak of. Menu is simple with just a play button. 21.8gb, ~25mbps, DTS-MA2.0

Although I haven't watched the whole disc yet if you are a fan of the movie or genre and was wondering about the technical details I wouldn't hesitate to pick this up.
